Are you also going to ignore the thousands of years of Pagan History that White People adhered to before the ROMAN's Force Christianity on innocent Pagans?
I make the claim that Christianity today would not exist without White European Paganism.
Quite. I stick to these guns though.
Look at all the Christian symbology and holidays.
All of which adhere to some type of Pagan tradition.
Even the days of the week.
Christianity would have failed without Pagans embracing it.
I am not saying Christianity is 'bad', I am saying that Christianity had something to say that Pagans in White Europe related to.
Pagans made Christianity "cool" and thus, its success!
Then let us except CHRIST!
Good by me!
But for fuck's sake..let's not forget the Pagan roots!
I love Christmas/Yule and other PAGAN holidays!
I love CHRIST and HIS TEACHINGS!
Those Teachings are important, and I have live my life by those.
I can't say the same for Pagan teachings, because that was erased from my environment in growing up.
I only hope that my Pagan ancestors had similar teachings of Christ and that is why they adhered to it.
My Native American side also adhered to Christ's Teachings!
"Love One Another…" that was the One Commandment that Jesus gave..and I am fine with that!
Anon, I do not practice Paganism. I am a Christian (not part of a major religion). I do not refute what you are saying. I think Christian Teachings are important. I was only saying that Christianity would not exist apart from Paganism. The conversion of Pagans was what made Christianity successful in White Northern Europe…and also, in Native America…who held similar beliefs in a "Virgin Birth".
What ever it is…it is part of God's plan! The Great Mystery!
Christ is okay by me…don't get me wrong.
Paganism is NOT Satanism.

Ok, so if this New Gun Law passes that you have to give your Social Media passwords over to be evaluated before you get a gun permit…can't you just delete all your social media accounts and say "I don't have Fakebook, Twatter, MyTrace…ect?"
So, they look at my account and see that I'm subscribed to James Woods…and then they say…nope…you can't have a gun?
"Our Father who art in Heaven…"
then Pope says he's going to change that prayer?
"Truth to Power" and then that lady from Pakistan dies?
Let's keep going…how is it that memes came into play with just these couple of occurrences?
Just a couple.
